Seven years ago

This old man said to me

Sittin' on his haunches

He's tellin' me to get a life

Now, money in a jar

Never got him far

But his story is heavier

Than you'll ever know

He said "live for me and die for me

And my miracles will set you free"

But I said no

I don't play that devils lie

Yea...set a road in the garden

Pulled the sword from the stone

And the water you're walkin' on

Has got me thinkin'

I've been all wrong

And I've been readin' the story

While I'm wastin' the years

And I've been runnin' with some bad brothers

That've been tryin' to rip my bloody tears

The stage was black

Lights we feared

Your limbs like a puppet

?These are scars of the years

It's a sexual feeling

It's the root that stresses your brain

Livin' on the threshold of evil

And you're tryin' to trip on morphine

On the corner of Phoenix

On the cross of gold bridge

Tryin' to change your life for the better

Gotta cross the bridge

I gotta cross the bridge

The stage was black

Lights we feared

Your limbs like a puppet

These are scars of the years

Tied in ropes to keep you home

Building walls to keep you away



cables connect

There's nails to mend

But what mends the heart

Where their children play

Set a road in the garden

Pulled the sword from the stone

And the water you're walkin' on

Has got me thinkin' I've been

Got me thinking' I've been

The stage was black

Lights we feared

Your limbs like a puppet

These are scars of the years

Tied in ropes to keep you home

Building walls to keep you away

Cables connect

There's nails to mend

But what mends the heart

Where their children play

Tied in ropes to keep you home

Building walls to keep you away

Caables connect

There's nails to mend

But what mends the heart

Where their children play
